GTA 6: Fans Debate the Fate of Trevor Philips
The fate of Trevor Philips, arguably the most memorable character from Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V), is a hot topic among fans anticipating GTA 6. While the canonical ending of GTA V sees Trevor, Michael, and Franklin surviving, speculation is rife about whether Trevor will appear in the next installment and, if so, what his role will be.
Steven Ogg's Perspective: A Quick Exit for Trevor?
Steven Ogg, the actor who brought Trevor to life, has suggested a surprising possibility: killing Trevor off early in GTA 6. In an interview with Screen Rant, Ogg stated, "It would be fun if Trevor appeared in it just to be killed at the beginning. I think that would be cool, because it also acknowledges the fans of like, 'Hey, thank you.' Pass the torch, stomp Trevor's head in, and sort of put an end to that and allow a new generation to take over."
Fan Reactions: A Divided Opinion on Trevor's Future
Ogg's suggestion has sparked debate among GTA fans on platforms like Reddit, with opinions split regarding Trevor's potential fate. Some fans believe Trevor should be left alone, arguing against another "pointless main character death." One Reddit user stated, "Nah. I'd say just leave the character alone. We don't need another pointless main character death."
The Argument for a Brutal End
Conversely, other fans find the idea of Trevor's demise compelling, especially considering his violent history. One such fan commented, "To be honest it would be brutal but kinda badass if it was the Lost MC that kills him in a similar fashion to Johnny." This perspective suggests a fitting, albeit harsh, end for the character.
GTA 6: A Fresh Start or Connection to the Past?
Some fans prefer that GTA 6 not reference previous games at all. As one Reddit user put it, "am I the only one who would actually prefer if GTA 6 doesn't even reference any of the previous games? I really want it to be its own distinct thing." This suggests a desire for a completely fresh narrative unconnected to the characters and events of past installments.
Trevor's Legacy: Secure Regardless of His Fate
Regardless of what Rockstar Games ultimately decides to do with Trevor, his status as an iconic character within the GTA universe remains secure. Even if his fate takes an unexpected turn, his impact on the series is unlikely to be diminished.
